What does Perseveranza smell like?
It opens with pimento, citron and ginger, a bright, lively start with a faint fruity edge. In the heart, vetiver, elemi resin and clove pull that freshness towards something earthier and spicier. At the base, cistus, styrax and tonka bean soften everything and add a resinous warmth.
Most voters recommend it for spring, fall and summer, with winter a distant fourth. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, though evening and office use also get votes. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine, and many call it modern. Those after a close profile could also look at The Dua Brand Spirit of Perseverance and Sospiro Mezzo.
